I enjoyed this. It took me a few days to get through because it's been a busy stretch, but it was always something to look forward to. The elements themselves are fairly standard romantasy but well executed and the story and characters developed well across the book

Holy SPICE! I mean I’m here for it, and I know this is Kerri’s debut into adult fantasy but man oh MAN! What a shift form the Kingdom of the Wicked series. I was a little tentative about a stand-alone for Envy but I LOVED it. The mystery of it all, the riddles, the games, the banter. DAMN! Like yes, please. I thought some things were a bit drawn out, like the mystery about Camilla herself, and I sort of guessed her parentage but it was still such a juicy reward to get that confirmation. Hope to see more of Camilla and Envy in future books - I know they’ll be side characters but god I love their witty back-and-forth.

After the incredible let down that was Kingdom of the Feared, I was a bit apprehensive to read this book. I was, however, pleasantly surprised. I loved the juxtaposition between the Regency England-esque human realm and the underworld. Where I think the Kingdom trilogy found itself awkwardly straddling between YA and adult, Throne of the Fallen is undoubtedly an adult novel, and suitably spicy to match.
